OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canadians can put away those extra welcome mats -- it seems Americans unhappy about the result of last November's presidential election have decided to stay at home after all.

In the days after President Bush won a second term, the number of U.S. citizens visiting Canada's main immigration Web site shot up sixfold, prompting speculation that unhappy Democrats would flock north.

But official statistics show the number of Americans actually applying to live permanently in Canada fell in the six months after the election.

That looked like Ebonics! By the way, did you hear they had to cancel a planned Miss Teen Ebonics USA pageant? They couldn't find a girl to be Miss Idaho.

With all the Cannuck bashing (and I've been part of it) I gotta say one thing.

Montreal is a pretty cool city if you're just up there for a visit.

If you're there in the winter it's got this whole underground thing where you almost never have to face the weather. Went there with an old girlfriend and it was great.

Yeah, don't mention you're not a liberal, but otherwise it's pretty cool. Reminded me of Europe a lot.

I'm a native French speaker, but don't even bother. Unless you speak "Montrealease", just speak english.

I still want to go back.

RE; Europe: Backward, gullible and innefectual?

Maybe.

However, it is the land of our forefathers, the men from whom our constitution sprung, and I spent the years 5 through 19 growing up there as an Army brat.

I'm no big fan of Europe's general socialist policies, but there is a great deal of history there.

Victor Davis Hanson prefers early Mediterranean History, and the Durants take a longer view.

History is history. There are always lessons to be learned. It always comes out the same.

I can't claim to have read it all. I do know one thing.

There are always aggressors. Bad guys need to be killed.

We are the most violent species on the planet.

Not a chance. Spend a few days looking into zoology.

DOH! I know my science.

When did the last colony of ants threaten to bombard the entire planet with nuclear radiation?

I don't know why I even bother with FR anymore, it's all moron kids these days.

Last time I checked we humans are nothing compared to the might of nature itself. How old is the world and how long have humans been around? Even if we irradiated the earth we would be gone but the earth would still be here.

Liberals are never honest with others, or themselves.
